When you are asking question under civil service conduct rules, asking for relevant provisions has no relevance. The set of those rules in themself contain the said provisions. Please read that carefully. Otherwise discuss the real problem, as your query is merely of academic nature.

query was im state govt employee as teacher(under CCCR), we had submitted joint representation in objecting seniority list. On that the authority (director) has threatened us to reply with show cause why action should not taken against us within 7 days.
On my research on the net, i was not able to locate in CCC Rules and I find sentences mentioning in swamys handbook with no punishment mentioned. and randomly i found some 1967 circular with not entertaining such joint representation but not full order to quote.
THANK YOU

Conduct Rules indicate that what type of activities of the employees can be treated as misconduct on his part, not punishment, the penalties are mentioned the CCS (CCA) Rules, which prescribes nature of penalties and procedure for taking disciplinary action also before giving punishment. So, don't try to mix up two things. If you want to find nature of penalties in swamy's handbook, you may read the chapter on disciplinary proceedings.
So far as the threat of the authority is concerned, he need not give verbal threat, as he is well withing his right to issue show casuse notice or charge sheet to the employees for their misconduct, as joint representation is prohibited in conduct rules and is treated as miconduct.

if the authority ( Director) has issued Show cause Notice then reply within stipulated time.
Prefer to consult seasoned and very able service matters expert for structuring the reply.

I agree with the experts advise, proceed as advised.
You have not been issued any show cause notice, memo of charge and reply thereto, instituted any inquiry hence no action has been initiated.
Oral threat is meaningless, just be warned.
Did you form an association/union; if so is it registered?
